Not a musical, but my (and Erik's) favourite opera. Some really great tunes by Gounod in there and a cracking story.

Anyway, posting because the ENO is reviving their earlier production of this in London, if anyone's interested. I am going on 16 October and am very excited as I've never seen Faust live. There are a few discounts around so take advantage of them, I've only spent £10 on my ticket!

I saw an excellent production last autumn at Covent Garden (much better than the ENO's which I originally posted about). Angela Georghiu played Marguerite. Interestingly, the set design involved a replica of the Emperor's box in the Palais Garnier (the one next to Box Five) being on stage throughout most of the show. I didn't quite understand why it was there...
